Public Talk: The Shambhala View

with Acharya Richard John

April 13th

If we seek a life of meaning and benefit, there are so many choices: Secular or spiritual, activist or contemplative, academic or pragmatic… The tradition of Shambhala has the depth of all of these, but also the simplicity and accessibility that is so necessary in our chaotic times.

The Shambhala View is the opening talk of Acharya Richard John's weekend program Shambhala Meditation: Radical Simplicity for a Troubled World and is open to public.
